Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Thursday, March 24, 2011. As is often the case, in Ghana we docked in an industrial port. Once we left the ship we had to walk about 20 minutes to the port gate. We passed large warehouses that housed the cocoa processing plant. The most notable part was the smell. Cocoa stinks! It has a sickly sweet smell that reminded me of dumpsters. Daniel and Julie walking out of the port. The wait staff p...

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Friday, February 18, 2011. The Cape Town Blues. Cape Town, South Africa. Our path during the last 24 hours. Me with Cape Town in the background. Here’s how it works when we get to a port. As we arrive a small boat comes out to greet our ship and comes along side us, our crew opens up a little platform and a local expert jumps on our ship while we are still moving.

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Tuesday, March 01, 2011. The Amazon Jungle, Day 2. After a delicious breakfast of fresh pineapple and sweet bread we went out for another paddle with the UK couple. They have a great sense of humor and loved to tease Francisco about all sorts of things and he dished it right back. It was fun. As we passed a small hole in the ground Francisco stopped us and picked a palm tree frond. With his...

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Sunday, January 23, 2011. We spent the last three days sailing up the Amazon River. It’s a wide, mellow, brown, muddy river. It’s the largest freshwater river in the world flowing through the largest tropical rainforest in the world. The Amazon River has a flow ten times the size of the Mississippi with a watershed almost the size of the continental U.S! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Wednesday, March 02, 2011. The Amazon Jungle, Day 3. Our third day in the Amazon Jungle started with a delicious breakfast of fresh pineapple, oranges, sweet bread, and bananas. It was more food then the 3 of us could possibly eat. Francisco threw the extra into the woods to be eaten by the monkeys. There's not exactly a Leave No Trace ethic here, but I'm sure the monkeys loved it. As we got cl...

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Sunday, January 23, 2011. We headed to the Amazon Teatro or the Opera House. It’s the most beautiful building in the town. As we stepped inside we saw other people were filling the seats. We followed the crowd and in about 20 minutes a beautiful classical performance started. Wow, were we surprised! The balcony in Amazon Teatro. We spent the last three days sailing up the Amazon River. It&#...

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Caving in Popp's Cave. A couple weeks ago three of us, Julie, Kate, and me, drove out to Richland Center to check out Popp's Cave. I'd been there before, but it had been a few years and Kate had never been caving I was eager to show her how cool it was. A drip in a small pool. Me, Kate, and Julie after venturing into the Mud Room. The bats all huddled together.

Swinging By A Thread, A Blog by Amy Climer. The musings and adventures of a photographer, artist, and traveler. Thursday, February 17, 2011. The Amazon Jungle, Day 1. We spent three days exploring the Amazon and didn’t see an American the entire time! It’s one of the challenges when traveling with Semester at Sea. When 700 Americans embark in a city at once you’re bound to run into each other, so we were excited to find a place where no one else was at. The tower we slept in. A plate of grilled piranha a...
